Ann Arbor is a wonderful town. Some of the most influential entrepreneurs and companies our country has known have started right here in Ann Arbor, including Larry Page of Google, and Tom Monaghan of Domino Farms. But although these bright minds have gone on to found their businesses and succeed, there are plenty of new entrepreneurs ready to prove their worth as well. That's why, from November 11th to November 13th, I'm hosting an event called "Hacka2thon" right here in Ann Arbor. The event is a 36-hour programming competition for computer programmers and entrepreneurs who want to show off what they can build from start to finish in a weekend. My goal is to give just one more reason why Ann Arbor is the best place in the world for developers, dreamers, and doers to make great things happen.

Hacka2thon participants must be registered for the event. If you haven't bought a ticket, you can't participate or win prizes!

Teams will form and register from 4-6PM. It is fine to come with a preexisting team, but if not, we will have a space for idea people and developers to do some "speed dating"!

Hacka2thon is a contest and placement will be defined by the top 3 contestants, along with honorable mentions

Applications/Hacka2thon entries should not be under development prior to the contest kickoff.

Pre-existing code libraries and artifacts are allowed, but it must have been available for free (Open source/demo code) at least 3 months previous, and must be specifically mentioned before presenting Hacka2thon entries on Sunday.

The development tools, frameworks and application focus are entirely up to the participants. It doesn't neccesarily have to be a Web App or Program — For example, show us the coolest thing you can hack together with Arduino

Participants are expected to bring all tools and software necessary to build their entry. Organizers will provide caffeine and food, but you might want to bring miscellaneous supplies like power strips, computer mice, etc.

Applicants will be expected to present their apps in person to the judging panel at 12:00pm on November 13th.

Prizes will be awarded at 3:00pm on November 13th.

Prizes include:

$400 in Best Buy gift cards

Amazon Kindle 3G

Tons of Microsoft video games

Much more to come!

Rules are subject to change at the discretion of the Hackathon coordinators (This is the first time we've done this event, so we know we missed something. This is just in case we did!)
